I Application filed July 15,

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, WILLIAM Bannock, M. 13., C. M., Glasgow, a subject of. the King of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Partickhill, in the cityand county of Glasgow,

from the depilated hides of animalsin a moist condition, ,with. or without prev ous treatment by washing for cleansing .purposes or by boiling in water or a dilute alkali or acid'such for example ascaiistic soda or hydrochloric acid to increase resiliency, and an outer envelop of waterproof material, such as rubber, gutta-percha, or the like adapted to prevent drying of the inner member. The inner member may either be held in tension being wound under tension upon itself or a nucleus after the manner of a golf-ball core, or may be held. in compression by the envelop which may be applied in the form of tensionallv wound strips or tapes or under pressure in a mold. v

Four examples of the carrying out of the invention are illustrated in section diagrammatically and to varying scales on an accompanying sheet of drawings.

In Figure 1 is illustrated a body in the form of a golf ball. and comprising the two essential elements of the inventiona core A forme l from the depilated hides of animals in a moist condition and an outer member or cover B of gutta-percha or like waterproof material serving to keep that core in its necessary moist condition and serving also as the usual outer cover of the ball.

" The core is preferably in compression as far as may be possible, but to obtain a greater degree of compression than is possible in this manner there may be applied as shown in Fig. 2'to the core A before" it is inclosed in the outer member or cover 13 a tensional winding C oftape or-the like.

Scotland, have invented a certain new and useful Core for Resilient the following is the 1911. Serial No. 638,652.

In Fig. 3 is shown a tire formed from the combined materials. I It comprises a core condition, a binder or wrapping. C of "canvas, tape, or the like,

thicknesses, and an outer member B of rub' condition.

tie and resilient plug or block for use as a cover or outer member B of wa-tcrproof material. In each of these examples the core tension.

What I claim is:
